Great info! //@Anonymous: It's cheap because it's not extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
EVOO is made by grinding olives into a paste, then pressing them to extract the oil. There's no heat involved, hence the "cold-pressed" label you often encounter. The resulting oil has a forest-green color; a grassy, peppery flavor; and a fruity aroma. This method, while effective, takes a substantial amount time. Certifying the product pure EVOO is also a rigorous, time-consuming process. These factors contribute to the oil's higher price.

Any cold-pressed oil that doesn't meet extra-virgin standards is then refined to get rid of undesirable impurities, giving the oil a more neutral flavor and lighter color. It's then blended with a bit of premium EVOO to produce what's labeled as just "olive oil."

So how does this affect your cooking? Keep a bottle of both on hand: Plain olive oil for general cooking and sautéing, and a nice top-shelf extra-virgin oil for dips, dressings, uncooked applications and as a finishing touch for plated food. While you could technically use EVOO in all your cooking (the myth that it turns bitter at high temperatures has since been busted), you won't be able to taste its subtleties. So when you need just a drizzle for your skillet, it's better to save your money by opting for its significantly cheaper cousin.

You get an additional 5% discount for subscribe and save, and free shipping. //@Anonymous: walmart has the same price without any discount, so this is not deals, walmart has it for everyday price.
